Authentically representing the roots of Capoeira
I've been waiting for this film to come to iTunes for awhile! Winner of best documentary at Philadelphia International Film Fest - Fly Away Beetle shares the roots of Capoeira from it's home - Salvador Brazil. Tracing it's origins in slavery to todays community empowerment, it has a cinematic style that evokes authenticity - and a gritty realism from the interviews with old Mestre's to the youth of today.
